When a cantankerous Sweet Briar resident ends up six feet
under, the ladies of the sewing circle have to deal with a
town full of suspects...

With the library’s budget dwindling, Tori Sinclair is
forced to let go of her predecessor, and fellow sewing
circle member, Dixie Dunn. After losing her job a second
time, Dixie decides to volunteer for Home Fare, delivering
meals to the homebound.

Less than a week after Dixie starts, her client Clyde
Montgomery is found dead. The police think he died of old
age, but with most of the town badgering Clyde to sell his
picturesque land, his passing seems a little too convenient.

Determined to prove that Clyde was murdered, Dixie asks Tori
for some sleuthing assistance. But with so many Sweet Briar
residents in possession of a compelling motive, the sewing
circle ladies will have to needle out the truth to find the
killer...

AN EXCERPT FROM REMNANTS OF MURDER:Chapter OneTori Sinclair heard the voice droning on in her ear, bits and pieces
of the man’s words mingling intermittently with the more enviable
conversation taking place on the other side of the office between her
fresh-off-maternity- leave assistant, Nina Morgan, and her
predecessor-turned- nemesis-turned-trusty-right-hand, Dixie Dunn.On any other day, or at any other moment, such a sight would have had
her smiling and champing at the bit for a chance to chime in on her
all-time favorite subject. But it wasn’t any other day. And it wasn’t
any other moment. “I’m sure you can appreciate our position on this, Victoria. Times
are tough. Funding is being cut all across the country. This isn’t
personal.”The head librarian part of her knew Winston Hohlbrook was right. The
board president had proven himself to be an advocate for Tori and the
library since her first day on the job. But the part of her that had gotten to know Dixie better during
Nina’s absence couldn’t help but feel the knot of dread that had taken
up residence in her stomach the moment Winston had gotten to the point
of his early morning phone call.“It’s a logical move. You and Nina have always handled things fine on
your own and you’ll do so again.” Winston cleared his throat and
continued, the conviction in his voice doing little to soften the impact
of his words. “Now don’t get me wrong, Victoria. The board and I have
greatly appreciated Dixie’s willingness to pinch-hit from time to time
over the past nine months. But she’s—” TO FINISH READING THIS EXCERPT, VISIT THE AUTHOR'S WEBSITE HERE.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Pseudonym: Laura Bradford.

It's not often that someone can provide visual proof of the
exact moment their lifelong dream was born. Which means I'm
one of the lucky ones...

Nestled safely in the top drawer of my filing cabinet is the
very first book I ever wrote—a six-page illustrated
story entitled, Kidney Learns a Lesson. Looking back, I
can't help but think the more accurate title would have
been, A Dream Is Born.

While Kidney (a sweetly drawn little brown bear) was
learning the kind of lesson its ten-year-old creator felt
noteworthy, I was falling in love with the process of
writing...of creating a world that came to life beneath my
pencil.

With my path chosen, I began devouring every book I could
find—my earliest favorites being penned by the likes
of Carolyn Keene, Laura Ingalls Wilder, and Mary Higgins
Clark...

Through them, I learned the joy of reading. Through my
devotion to craft, I learned the joy of plotting and
creating. And through my readers, I've learned the joy of
providing a momentary escape from life—a chance to
explore a new place, a new career, a new hobby, a new
experience.

Because that's what books do. They allow us to dream...

And dreaming is something I know all about.
